Use lspci to figure out what the card is, then follow the guides on the wiki. You don't need an xorg.conf anymore.

As thestinger said, document yourself, this is not some beginner distro forum. We expect a minimum of effort, and you're clearly not showing any. A quick lspci would already tell you what vendor supplied your GPU.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Configuring

Configuration files are located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

You should have 10-evdev.conf which manages the keyboard, the mouse, the touchpad and the touchscreen. You are free to create new config files, but they must start with XX- (where XX is a number) and have a .conf suffix (10 read before 20 for example).

Emphasis mine.

Programming have nothing to do with it.

Install xf86-video-ati. You don't have to configure it in xorg.conf, xorg will do the right thing on it's own.

Alternativly you can use the catalyst driver. If you go for that one, read the catalyst page on the wiki.
